II. tG ". F. Co, on their return from inspect
ing the hedges. n motion was made hy Mr.. Car
ter Wright. of Frederick county. that a com
mittce of several gentlemen from the several

We. the undersigned citizens of Frederick
and adjoining counties. upon invitation of the
officers of the Shenandoah Valley Hedge and
Wire Fence Co.. have visited and closely eS-
amincd the hedges which have been FLASHED
under the patented plans of said Company. and
take pleasure in subscribing our names to the
following testimonial: We agree that we found
it not only perfect fence but n living orna-
incnt to q farm. and we believe it will turn any
kind of stock from n chicken, pig or sheep to
a horse or OK that it does not prevent the cul-
tivution of the ground to within few inches
of said fence: that it does not occupy space
of ground more than ID or IA inches in width.
and that it is quickly and easily trimmed and
kept in order. and in short the most perfect
fence yet placed before us.

Harper's Ferry Letter.
HARpER's FERRY. June "a, 1887.

HARPER's FERRY, June "a, 1887.
Dear Editor Children Day SER
vices were held in the NJ. E. Church
here on the evening of the 18TH
Beautiful bouquets and baskets of
flowers adorned the alter, while chill
dren in mostly white costume and or
namentai ribbons, whispering and
laughing, made the scene one of joy
Gus anticipation before the services
commenced. The exercises consist
ed of addresses, recitations, singing
and responsive reading. One of the
larger pupils, Miss Sophie Keyes,
showed fine elocutionary power in a
recitation on the Bible. Emma Dud-
row, almost in her babyhood, led the
solo part in "Only Penny" infant
class joining in the chorus. Emma
already inherits her mothers musical
talent. Maurice Wentzell, of the in
FAINT class and son of our popular
post master, showed wonderful mem
ory in recitation, to say nothing OF
his size. Miss Fannie Baden pre-
sided at the organ, ably assisted by
the choir of the church. The absence
of the Sunday School Superintendent,
Mr.. George Fossett, caused much re-
greet, and sympathy of the entire COM
munity is extended to him in the re-
cent loss of his wife.
1887 will be memorable for the APP
pearance of the Star of " Bethlehem. "
This star only makes its appearance
every 315 years. The learned pro-
fessor Gounmier does not state at
&c what time it will appear" but that
its brilliancy will surpass any pre-
vious visitation. 1t will be accompa-
MED by the total eclipse of the sun
and moon. This star first attracted
the attention of astronomers in 1873.
1t was no new star, however, for this
was the star that shone so brilliantly
four years B. G. and was the star that
Illuminated the heavens at the nativ-
ity of Christ.
A coal oil can by some means be-
came ignited and exploded at the res
idence of Mr.. Stockton Sponcellar
this week and came near causing a
serious confagration.
The NJ. E. Sunday School of Mar
tinshurg, joined by the School of this
place, picniced Mt Island Park on the
23d instant.
Summer is success. Yours.
